Using Firefox 3.0.1 on Win XP SP2.

A workaround has been reported by the original author of this post: set "en-us" as the first language in your preferences.

Agree the problem still exists. Tested on various browsers, same Java error. Without login you can see all the instructables without any problems.
6stygos (author) says: Sep 5, 2010. 12:47 PM
I would like to inform you that he issue hadn't been solved, as the problem still persists, though now it is not like in OP, but as in the comment of user "atisss". I would appreciate if you look into these matters, because instructables.com rocks and it would be nice to have bigger pictures and being able to post comments. Yours sincerely, 6stygos

It's still not fixed. It's still happening on new questions.
kelseymh says: Sep 2, 2010. 11:07 AM
You mean just three questions :-)
Re-design says: Sep 2, 2010. 11:15 AM
Sorry, I didn't mean all new questions but that is was happening on (some) new questions as well. I count 6 now.

I have the same issue when logged in. However without login I can't see all the pictures.

Hey! http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Voltage-Inverter/, and got the same error, and lots of more instructables i try to look. Sad, hope its going to work fine soon, or can it be my fault?
lebowski says: Dec 9, 2009. 9:08 AM
This is fixed now. Please let us know if you see any other problems.
jeff-o says: Aug 29, 2008. 3:38 AM
I'm getting this bug trying to submit my Instructable to the Craft Skills Contest.
rachel says: Sep 2, 2008. 3:10 PM
We had a problem with the Craft contest specifically, but I believe we fixed it. Let me know if you still can't enter it.
marc92 says: Sep 26, 2008. 1:17 PM
I got an ERROR 500 when trying to edit one of my existing Instructables.
kontrastas says: Sep 7, 2008. 4:16 AM
I'm having the exact same problem as 6stygos. I can usually see the main page when i'm logged in, but almost never the instructables them selves.
rachel says: Aug 26, 2008. 12:01 PM
6stygos, are you still seeing this problem? It looks to me like a known issue that occurs sometimes in the couple of minutes after we've just pushed a new release. It always goes away after 30 or 40 seconds, but you may need to use Shift-F5 to reload if the page has gotten into your browser's cache. Unfortunately it is a problem with our appserver, not with the site code, so until they fix it and release a new version of that, there's not a lot we can do. While it produces a similar bunch of output, it is not actually related to the issue BruceMiller had with deleting a step.

I just tried to enter the Craft contest, and I got:

ERROR 500: java.lang.NullPointerException

I am getting the same error
rachel says: Sep 2, 2008. 3:10 PM
Annabell45, Kiteman, we had a small problem with the Craft contest specifically that should be fixed now, please let me know if you still can't enter it!
6stygos (author) says: Aug 29, 2008. 12:33 PM
Sorry for bothering you, the problem seems to be gone by now.
6stygos (author) says: Aug 27, 2008. 10:13 AM
But now the error seems a little bit different: ERROR 500: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: ServletException in '/common/newlayout.jspx': Can't insert page '/pages/explore/newrightbar.jsp' : ISO-8859-10
6stygos (author) says: Aug 27, 2008. 10:02 AM
Yup, the problem is still here, although now the homepage works. I still have to log off to view instructables.
iectyx3c says: Aug 23, 2008. 10:43 AM
Having similar problem. See this forum for post titled "Can Not Delete a Step" which has a response from an SU staffer saying they will look into it.
